Jennifer Cramer

A girl
Lonely and forgotten
Perhaps
Never known
...

I want to be free.
Free, free as a bird,
That sings in that tree.
...

All the nights I cried till my parents wake,
And all the tiny baby steps I take.
All the wrong decisions and parties I had,
The family I want, children to make me glad.
...

You know that feeling
When you're all alone
And every one
Makes you feel like you're on your own
...

Tears
Like Rain
Spattering down my face
...

Your waking dreams
I hear your screams
Of the hour
My wilted flower
...

Go from nothing
No family
No mother
No support
...

She speaks of happiness,
Laughs of joy,
Smiles of love,
Has eyes of pain,
...

Alone and afraid
Misunderstood
Forgotten and terrified
Lied to and confused
...

A silent tear
A cry you cannot hear
A helpless soul
...

She was a free spirit,
One with herself.
Took life as it was handed to her,
Never really complained.
...

Day after day
Nothing stays the same
The minutes go by like hours
The veil between yesterday and now
...

Don’t you just love it?
How parents are so controlling
How they think that they’re always right
...

You may have been here
And gone
But our memory
Will live on
...

You went up the hill
Then came down
You went out
without a sound
...

I took your heart
And saw you break down

I saw you got it fixed
...

...

If you knew
How much you would hurt me
Would you have done it?
Just to see
...

Running, running
Must get away
It’s here, it’s here
I mustn’t stay
...

Ever hear
The bump in the night?
The one that scares
You with fright?
...
